Long Bien Bridge (Cau Long Bien)

Designed by the architect of the Eiffel Tower, Long Bien Bridge (Cau Long Bien) was the first to span the Red River in Hanoi, serving as a crucial transport link between cities and towns in Northern Vietnam. Despite being heavily bombed during the Vietnam War, the bridge remains standing, a tangible symbol of the nation’s enduring resilience. Today, visitors can walk or cycle across its iron structure, experiencing a piece of history and enjoying panoramic views of the river and the city.
